It didnt mention how to open the back cover in the first place? Which is the hardest part and the one that require the most skills and specialized tools.
The article links another article talking about the cover. Both do not cover how to apply the new part, specifically, how to install the new battery in this case. I think vitally important. :) @fabianjung
DO NOT use the jimmy tool or anything metal to scrape the glue off!!! You will scratch and remove the paint on the back cover!
5/10 as a guide IMHO.
Why isn't a replacement adhesive gasket part of the requirements (in addition to the replacement battery)??!
The seal will most likely be severely compromised after being opened.
Update: 7/10. Taking the back off went easily/smoothly after lying on a 3D printer bed (@80C) for about 10mins, then using a hot air gun (@90C) and a metal spudger and plastic picks to gently break the adhesive holding the back to the body.
No issue removing the inside cover and pulling out the battery.
Having a replacement adhesive gasket/tape is a good idea when re-assembling though. The original guide didn't mentioned this.
The original guide is also missing the case where the new battery comes with its own pull tab wrap (the wrap with the black dots underneath). I was googling a lot but I couldn't find an answer so I just went ahead. In the end you have to remove that plastic wrap left behind in the guide. The phone has some black patches with glue that should stay once you remove this pull tab wrap. Then just place the new battery in the slot and presto! It was darn easy but I was afraid I was going to need additional adhesive.
In the end the only additional adhesive you need is for the back glass cover, unless you're replacing it in which case most likely already comes with its own adhesive strip.
Cracked the back case trying to remove it, even after hitting it with a heat gun for a minute or two. I didn't really want to get it hotter. As-is you need either a new battery cover (about $20) or a new gasket seal because the original glue will be shot. Otherwise this went pretty well. Actually pulling the battery takes some patience. It's really glued in there.
My replacement battery didn't come with it's own pull tab and adhesive wrap, so I had to improvise a little. Also it was almost 1cm shorter than the old battery, which is not ideal.
Even if you're experienced, this guide is impossible to complete within 15-30 minutes. If you plan to re-use your original battery cover and remove as much adhesive as you can to get a perfect seal again it will take even longer. I managed to remove almost all the old adhesive with isopropyl alcohol, a small plastic scraper and a cloth. This part alone took me 1.5 hours.
Solange nur der Akku gewechselt werden soll, ist das Entfernen der Sim nicht zwingend notwendig.
